Flexible Spending

Flexible Spending Accounts allow employees to set aside funds into an account(s) and reimburse themselves for certain qualified expenses not covered by their medical, dental or vision plans. The amount that is set aside reduces current taxable income and increases spendable, take home pay.

Eligibility

Employees holding full-time positions are eligible to participate in a Flexible Spending Account; Health Care, Dependent Care, and Parking. Initial enrollment takes place within the first 31 days of hire, and coverage normally begins the first day of the month following the full-time or part-time hire date.

Changes may be made during open enrollment or within 31 days of a qualifying event (change in status). Qualifying event examples include but are not limited to marriage, divorce, birth, or family member loss of coverage. Once enrolled, payroll deductions will be in effect until the end of the year.

Cost

Employees may contribute up to $2,650 annually (spread over 24 pay periods) to the Health Care FSA, up to $3,060 annually to the Parking/Transit FSA, and up to $5,000 annually to the Dependent Care FSA. View the "Take Care Tool with On-line Calculator" for more information.
